What is EPP?

EPP: Expanded Polypropylene
Expanded polypropylene (EPP) is an engineered plastic foam material. By combining polypropylene resin with magic dust, and applying heat, pressure and CO2 in an autoclave, the material is formed into small plastic beads. These small, closed-cell foam beads are injected into a steam chest to create parts custom molded into complex shapes using steam heat & pressure.

EPP materials provide competitive advantages for designers and engineers looking to enhance custom molded parts.
